Booger Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 3 BW ods on Ebay. They look rough but it's just dirt and they look all intact. $1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loren Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Remember you’re getting “a pig in a poke” You have no idea if they are any good. To me they looked like they’ve been under water. The seller wants $1,000 each, not sure that will happen. The last one I bought on ebay, I paid $475 and it turned out to be in good shape (and it looked better than those). The safe thing would be to offer $1,500 for all three and hope you can get one good one, or make one good one out of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJon Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I have been hunting for a R10, and saw those. I am unwilling to gamble $1k on those mudballs. The seller gives just enough info to be suspicious. If I had $3000 worth of transmission to sell, I would pressure wash them, drain oil to check for water, and check that they turn smooth and that regular shift levers can move normally. Kinda the least you can do, unless you know they are out of flood cars, and are nearly locked up, and don't care if they sell. On the flip side, shipping is included, so really they are $750+shipping. Maybe people will snap them up, I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booger Posted June 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 All good points. I mean how much hassle is it to pressure wash these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Looked at the "store". Basically a junk yard. Sells some rusty stuff at high prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to swing by the guys place in a couple weeks, actually has four of them and might try lowball him on the lot.This one popped up in SC, guy is/was asking $150, smoking deal but too far away to make it worth a designated road trip after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in range of me, and about 40 miles from my step-son. Wonder how something like this would work with a 1948 Dodge fluid drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Douglas Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 If the trans was from a standard clutch, you need to get a fluid drive input pinion and swap it. Other than the controls, works just fine. I have one in the '48 Desoto Suburban. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
